This map randomization messes with my head so bad, there were so many moments where I was like "Wait what all he has to do is go outs- .. oh". Great run, fun to watch.
So I calc'd the Thousand Arrows against Giratina in the Flannery battle... Lvl 70 0- Atk Mewtwo Thousand Arrows vs. Lvl 24 0 HP / 0 Def Giratina: 95-112 (84 - 99.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Yeah... So it actually lived naturally. That's crazy.
It's a fairly common way to set it because enough runners got sick of runs being heavily impacted by RNG just because some random needed pokemon just won't get in the ball.
I would imagine this is a speedchoice feature - as a rule of thumb, imagine something being a deciding factor in a race, and if it conjures "that's bullshit bro", they've probably given it a place in settings, disabled it, and been glad they did
it's an option for people that would otherwise save before the encounter, then throw pokeballs at it, constantly resetting and trying again if they don't catch it
The Universal Pokemon Randomizer (UPR) originally only allowed to set the catchrate to "everything becomes a Pidgey", which meant that basically everything on 2/3 was instacatch. Speedchoice then added "Instant Catch" as an option. Which is a tremendous help. In general, but specifically in runs like these. Since you don't have any chance to weaken the Level 70, you would need to constantly reload and try to catch it with one ball, which is just a pain

shoutouts to the dude on the very left of the facecam for jamming out to like every song

19:07 my man going in on the piano
he was jamming out to ALL the songs tbf
19:00 the cynthia music for rayquaza is sooo fitting thats incredible. love this run so much!
especially since in this seed rayquaza is mewtwo
Ah nice, this is just what I needed. Night night, I'll see y'all tomorrow 🥱💤
Something very sinister is going down in Dewford
i think if he hadn't passed on dark pulse in the mall the run couldve been like 1:15 LOL crazy seed and play by chris
I see a spinner purge option in the options before he starts the run,
And you got my like already.
The music is absolutely cracking me up. Great run
Maybe it's my autism speaking but I love the organization with the map tracking and all
Crazy run, gg. Mono Psychic :P I couldn't believe you passed up on the opportunity to click Choice Banded Thousand Arrows on everything.
Amazing game knowledge and multitasking by Chrism :D
The luck on the first level 70 find was just astounding lmao
Dragon Ascent on the Rayquaza is funny to me
Chris is the best map rando runner on earth, sit back, and bear witness!
How do you randomize the music?
What does 'ESA' is ESA Speedrun stand for?
European Speed runners assembly
That Mewtwo must’ve had some terrible IV’s
are pokeballs in a randomizer always have a 100% catch rate?
Not necessarily, but it does make for runs like this to be way faster. It's optional; there is a setting in the randomizer you can edit.

Just by looking at the estimate you can see how bad this run can get
this run is weirdly satisfying and addicting
let's go Chris
Chris's irl map randomized so he could run this and agdq in the span of what, a week?
"dont be parasect" LOL
Don't they have the same cry? That would have been so cruel if it were!
lol, this is cool.
